An interesting article:
The prize this year on 'Hell's Kitchen' is a head chef position at Borgata
When Fox TV's hit cooking series "Hell's Kitchen" gears up in January, its contestants will be vying for a head chef position inside the trendy Borgata Hotel Casino in Atlantic City.
As with prior seasons of the unscripted reality series, the competing chefs have varying degrees of culinary experience. Each week, the frazzled chefs try to slice and dice their way to the top, as they vie for Chef Gordon Ramsay's approval. Demanding nothing but absolute perfection, Ramsay puts the chefs through rigorous culinary challenges as they are split into two teams - the Red Team and the Blue Team.
By the end of each show, Ramsay (in various degrees of screaming) will send one chef home with the rest left to saute' their way toward the grand prize.
As for any local entrants, the press materials tell us that "Ji, 33, is a private caterer from Palisades Park."
Since opening in 2003, Borgata has raised the culinary bar in Atlantic City introducing world-class dining experiences to the city. The hotel boasts eateries by such star chefs as Bobby Flay, Wolfgang Puck, Michael Schulson and Michael Mina.
"Hell's Kitchen" airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. on Fox starting Jan. 29.

I do not visit Atlantic City, but I do read the newspaper which covers virtually all of New Jersey including Atlantic City. There are occasional articles about the casinos, as gaming is an important revenue source for the state of New Jersey. The Borgata is I believe the newest and most posh/swank casino in Atlantic City. A senior position there, even if it is not the top one and we know from Hell's Kitchen 4 that it won't be, is an important job in the culinary world(just as it was for the Green Valley Ranch Resort where I remember that Roc went).
